film that exposes the conditions of animals at OHSU and other
vivisection labs and highlights the efforts of activists working to end
their abuse.

Comments: All materials will be provided, but please feel free to send
whatever message you want people to see about vivisection on your own
poster if you like!

** We will meet at the intersection of W. Campbell and N. Floyd Road
** Please join Animal Connection of Texas in a peaceful
demonstration against this unnecessary cruelty, urging UT-Dallas to
follow in the footsteps of the University of California-Irvine, home to
one of the nation's top neuroscience programs, which recently announced
that it was replacing this same rat experiment with alternative,
non-animal methods. In a cruel classroom neuroscience experiment at the
University of Texas-Dallas, undergraduate students drill holes into
healthy rats' skulls, destroy parts of their brains with chemicals,
inject them with drugs, and then force them to perform in behavioral
experiments to assess the brain damage. At the end of the experiment,
the rats are killed

We are targeting the notorious University of Utah. We will be
marching from
the Administration Building to the main buildings on campus that are
responsible for the pain and suffering of thousands of animals every
year.

This is the perfect opportunity to let University of Utah students
know what
is happening inside the windowless buildings on their campus. Help us
speak
out against animal cruelty.

Comments: This year we will be focusing on the work that occurs inside
of the Washington National Primate Research Center's primate genomics
lab. Scientists recognize that monkeys are not very good models when it
comes to studying diseases that afflict human primates, so they are
spending millions of tax payer dollars to try and create "better
research models".
